Isaiah 49:1-5
1Listen to Me, you 1islands, And pay attention, you peoples from afar. 2The Lord called Me from the womb; From the 3body of My mother He named Me.2He has made My 4mouth like a sharp sword, In the 5shadow of His hand He has concealed Me; And He has also made Me a sharpened 6arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver.3He said to Me, “7You are My Servant, Israel, 8In whom I will show My glory.”4But I said, “I have 9labored in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and futility; Nevertheless, the justice due to Me is with the Lord, And My 10reward is with My God.”
5And now says 11the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that 12Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am 13honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My 14strength),
